ASE THREE
Workers Are Told
War Not Yet Over
In a wire to J. C. Branaman,
local office manager of the United
States employment service, L. C.
Stoll, state manpower director
said that there will be no slacken
ing in the critical need for work
ers in Oregon Until late autumn
or next winter.
"The WMC and USES agencies,
with management, labor and the
entire community, has the tough
est production schedules still to
meet," he said, basing his state
ment on information Just re
ceived from the military high
command in the nation's capitol.
Stoll disclosed the text of an
urgent telegram received from
Admiral H. L. Vickery, U. S. mari
time commission.
Stoll expressed considerable
alarm over the thousands of
workers leaving the area as the
result of "V-E" day." adding that
the war with the Japs can be won
sooner if everyone stays on the
Job. "The exodus of workers can
mean only one thing delayed
deliveries on production sched
ules of the utmost urgency.
He concluded his wire to Brana
man with the statement that "the
delay of one day in furnishing
war material to fighting Ameri
cans in the Pacific is pure sabo
tage. The WMC and USES reit
erates again that the program
will be long drawn out to victory.
We all must continue to produce
to capacity, and not be misled by
any premature' statements be
cause the war is not over."

Saigon Blasted
By US. Fliers
Manila, May 11 un Philippines-based
American heavy
bombers have wrecked the great
Japanese naval station at Saigon,
French Indo-China, possibly for
the duration of the Pacific war,
headquarters of the U. S. Fifth
air force announced today.
In seven concentrated - air
strikes between April 22 and
May 4, fighter-escorted bombers
of the Fifth air rorce gutted the
huge oil depots and submarine
and ship repair yards at Saigon
and destroyed or damaged 95 en
emy merchant vessels and two
naval craft.
Headquarters spokesmen said
the destruction was so complete
that Saigon, second only to Singa
pore as a Japanese naval repair
station, may be permanently use
less to the enemy for major ship
repairs.
They revealed that the tight
American air blockade on the
China sea shipping lanes had
made Saigon a bottleneck at the
southern terminus oi tne Japa
nese railway supply routes over
land through Indo-Chlna and
China. - -

OREGON STATEHOUSE JOTTINGS
By Eric W. Allen, Jr.
(United Pr Stuff Comwpondent)
Salem, Ore., May 11 ib Ore
gon farmers, working against the
handicaps of a labor shortage and
a serious lack of farm equipment,
will plant a near-record acreage
of virtually all products this year.
With the growing demand for
more food both in this country
and in the war ravaged countries
of Europe, Oregon's agricultural
workers are planning a 20 per
cent Increase in spring wheat, a
10 per cent increase In barley, ana
a six per cent increase in potatoes,
over last year's acreages.
On April 1 the United States
department of agriculture est!-
mated tnat tnis years proaucuun
of winter wheat in Oregon would
be 17,031,000 bushels, slightly less
than last year's crop. This esti
mate may be revised downward
slightly, as a result of a lowered
estimate for the country as a
whole, i announced yesterday.
The northwest states, Oregon,
Washington and Idaho, will have
a total winter wheat crop of about
79,734,000 bushels, the department
estimated, or an increase of about
four per cent.
Only in three crops do Oregon
farmers show intent of planting
less than last year. These are
corn, which will be down about 15
per cent, oats, down one per cent,
and dry edible peas, down 62 per
cent, for the largest decrease of
any crop.
Intended plantings this year are
about one per cent above those
of last year,- while it is a lull live
per cent above the previous 10-
year average.
Early spring rains left the soil
in good condition for crops to
start, and subsequent rains have
maintained sufficient moisture.
Chief difficulty in the ambitious
planting program Is the scarcity
of farm machinery and equip
ment. A survey made recently by
the United Press showed that
dealings in secondhand farm
equipment have virtually ceased,
and that some dealers say they
are unable to fill more than sev
en to 10 per cent of the orders
they receive.
Little prospect of a general in
crease in availability of farm
equipment is not expected soon,
perhaps not for a year or more.
E. L. Peterson, director of the
Oregon department of agricul
ture, says that It Is a great credit
to the farmers of the state that
they have kept their machinery
going as well as they have. Many
pieces of equipment are still work
ing only through the grace of
baling wire and home -wrought
parts.
Repair parts have been avail
able more readily than new equip
ment, Peterson said, but still no
where meet the demund.

Mariners who face the lashing fury of a storm-swept
sea know that they cannot meet the emergency and
think of comfort, sleep or even food while the crisis
lasts. Each one stays at his appointed post until the
winds subside and danger passes.
Nor can wc, living in this war-torn world, expert a
normal life and an abundance of the things we like
to have... even good Old Bohemian Club beer....
until wc ride out the storm.
In the meanwhile, it must be a case of live and let
live, each one getting along with a little less so that
everyone may have his share.
